overseas siddiqi has become known as the daughter of pakistan. thousands have stormed the streets. proclaiming her a victim of america's post nine eleven justice system a system creating more enemies than friends this was never. about us trying to see if it's the most efficient and it just did that but what it did in that in in the process was that it smashed it's one thing that it stood for and that was the power of justice and it has just lost that and that is in front of the amnesty international headquartered in manhattan for decades was staging a noisy worldwide campaigns to free people they say are political prisoners often as far as burma or north korea but not in the case of aafia siddiqui who was imprisoned and try next door in new york city key supporters sara flounders says

the so-called high in the years of human rights abroad have illegally turned away from a horrific problem here at home not to address us congo where people are held and under horrendous conditions torture abuse held in solitary confinement the first obligation is always to address the issues and the conduct of your own government thursday morning after he was sentenced to eighty six years in prison her crime attempted assault against a u.s. soldier yet the alleged crimes against her never investigated it's been absolutely horrifying to see that obama who ran for president as the anti bush and who was so adamantly opposed to the perversion of the united states constitution to see her. now the continuation of all of these policies that he has adopted
12:09 pm
from the bush administration has been absolutely outrageous thank you very much. marina portnoy r.t. the. israel's moratorium on settlement construction in the west bank is set to expire within hours from now it was searched ten months ago by the israeli government as a move towards peace talks with palestine meanwhile the palestinian government officials were on several times that any new construction in the west bank the immediate halt the on going negotiations summer jewish settlers plan to celebrate the event by laying the foundations of the new buildings in the area for the international community has repeatedly called on israel to extend the moratorium while israelis call on their government to end it or when i joined live by the founder of all and on point tonight is asia aimed at extended dialogue between both sides of the conflict many thanks for joining us mr rugg. the
12:10 pm
moratorium is about to expire both sides promise protests do you think that these process could turn violent. these protests will not turn violent and they won't turn violent for two primary reasons the first is that the leaders in the region prime minister binyamin netanyahu and president abu mazin both see the importance of carrying on with the peace talks without promoting violence in fact these peace talks need to continue so that we can continue living together without violence and the second reason we don't expect violence at this time is because the people themselves understand that actual peace and moving forward without violence is in the interests of the people of the region it's in the interests of israelis and it is in the interests of palestinians and selves mr
12:11 pm
i gave you talk about the importance that both sides play on the continuation of these peace talks but we know that the palestinians sense that they could walk away from the peace talks all unless the moratorium is extended so why do you think the prime minister netanyahu is threatening a princess by refusing the extension well it's true the palestinians have warned that they can walk away and many in fact see that as a ploy in their negotiations prime minister netanyahu will actually expect that he needs to students to stand firm for what he believes in. a tactic and as a strategy for his own negotiations so we expect the prime minister to stay firm with his expectation that the palestinians will stay and negotiate what we do know that the main point being made by the israeli side in all this is that making the palestinians of having wasted this ten month construction for instance peace talks
12:12 pm
really resumed some nine months into the holes walls distance the amount of public . that israel has a hollow point tell miss. well you know when i hear these accusations and these accusations come from all sides i hear politics as usual you can always justify any point but the fact is both sides want to reach an agreement and for that reason i think both an attorney you know and double was and will find a way to overcome their differences and today and this settlement freeze i think will be an opportunity for these leaders to show that they can overcome and the obstacles in their way now let's focus on what you do with your nonprofit organization on a website you want some extended dialogue on the whole middle east peace process haven't you so what's been the worth do you think you can add to help the peace process it's been
12:13 pm
a positive response that is helping the peace process the web platform we're speaking of is me peace or gets the network of peace and it's been called the facebook of peace because it's like facebook and it is working for peace it's enabling thousands of peacemakers israelis and palestinians and we have russians and people in more than two hundred countries come together in advance middle east peace and our main belief our premise is that the leaders are not just netanyahu and it is us the people individuals like you and i who can together forward peace so we come together and meet peace org this is the platform for peace and everyone is invited to participate and there we discuss what is possible there we lead and we as people just like us who will leave we can make a difference i pastor of a program to see that that many times but also a hour of the founder of the non profit organization adults who are israel's
12:14 pm
moratorium on fatling construction in the west bank set to expire within. well coming up later this hour was struck by paul that she. was. i think it's just a power struggle was. in the big apple hearing what people have to say about america's economic situation. is the surge of violence in iraq coincides with the end of the u.s. military campaign that remain over whether local forces can maintain security. all street is right wing freedom party is hoping an anti muslim computer seeking will help win votes in sunday's provincial elections if successful this will be yet another success for europe's a rights. rather than actions. takes
12:15 pm
a look at what is feared to be the wrong lies of islamophobia. was the by by most game is a simple as its message they came and shoot down as many you must as you can as they rise relentlessly above austria's alpine skyline if you're not quick enough the country is islam wised up that has some we are defending our rights our traditions our culture we don't want to be dissolved into islam nor do we want there to be parallel islamic societies in our country you're going to be released by the rightwing freedom party as part of its bid for election and the regional government in styria austria second largest province the game has hit the wrong nerve within twenty four hours but received more than two hundred thousand web hits within a week it was banned the computer game may have been just a small part of a political campaign but the reaction has been nothing but
12:16 pm
a firestorm of outrage there around five hundred thousand muslims in austria together with the greens their community leaders sued the freedom party emotions in the game and islam is a reality and if we want to build mosques we will build them anyway if i have a vision of the future where every town or city in austria has a mosque with a minaret that people can see from the outside can that in which the judicial authorities uphold the complaint and rule that again went beyond acceptable discussion forcing the freedom party to take it down from its website parked in the front of the numbers who played the game show that islam is a very important issue again thanks to us it was talked about in the first placing but the judicial system is meddling in politics and stopping a free discussion base of many say the ban has had the reverse effect there's not even a single minute in styria and less than two percent of the population of muslim. the freedom party failed to get a single seat at the last election now it's expected to triple its vote and put
12:17 pm
a dent in the ruling coalition of two centrist party to have a little bit of change in the whole system because i have to feeling it's just it's already against. what they like to do is position themselves as like the resistance of the true origin people which is kind of been suppressed by the status quo if the freedom party performs well it will follow the footsteps of recent successes by far right parties in sweden belgium and the netherlands. it appears that no longer can the centrist parties ignore the voices of those alone by immigration or the risk being penalized at the ballot box. party gratz steria. the danish m.p. michael vincent thinks european politicians of the media shouldn't just ignore right wing policies and that's last week's swedish it to one election was set we have an example right now where none of the established parties and none of
12:18 pm
these fabulous media in sweden like to discuss it because they feel it's like you know it's not political correct and it's like a prank it drawn all over. this media on all this release this tap this month so this should be a wake up call to all the all parties seen in that light that this region democrats were not allowed to take part in the debates on public t.v. the last debate and they weren't even allowed to run their commercial ads on private televisions as all of the other parties were in that regard i don't believe that the elections were fair and therefore have to be decided that i'll take the issue up in the council of europe where perth denmark and sweden are founding members to try to discuss it and see how we can make sure that the election since we also not only free but also fair in the future. now this week the riches of the arctic dominated talks at an international forum here in moscow the
12:19 pm
objective was to ensure that the competition for the billions of tons of oil and gas wouldn't overheat. if you stand alone you can survive in the arctic that's how russian premie have led him or putin explained that no country by itself can deal with the enormous challenges i had at the world he promised that what average treasures lie hidden under the greek layer of ice will be no fighting over the top of the world the arctic needs secure sustainable management no vision about where to stop with that we have to hear some futuristic forecasts predicting a battle for the arctic are responsible analysis shows the majority of the frightening scenarios on the future of the arctic have no grounds whatsoever their goal is to provoke clashes among the arctic states and so that those who make the predictions can fish for something in the murky waters but i am absolutely sure that all the existing problems including the ones over the continental shelf can be
12:20 pm
resolved in a manner of partnership and according to the law the five know the neighbors who fish in these dark cold waters are russia canada the us norway and denmark at stake now are massive amounts of untapped oil and gas estimated to be over twenty percent of what the planet has to offer but many fear that a territorial crisis over the arctic which for millenia has been a vast quiet block of ice could suddenly start to boil and for the people who call this tranquil place home an invasion of industrialization is on the horizon for many years people thought the arctic was this frozen wasteland that no one lives here no one survives here is a place for polar bears and eagles and the reality is that the arctic is a vibrant place with rich natural resources rich human resources where people live and survive daily at the love that choose to live here but some of the history's
12:21 pm
saddest chapters were written on the white pages of these glass during years. in the cold war it was one of the world's most militarized regions with nuclear missiles placed there the warheads may have gun but oil and gas drills i likely to replace them environmentalist question just how safe big struction technology will be in this stuff to retain especially with the gulf of mexico disaster and its lingering legacy so fresh in people's minds it's not just a question of often your call drudge in the arctic it's all show that we approach there's another responsible way i don't think anybody come up roads the arctic simply from the point of view of lettuce exploit the resources i think everybody from charlotte show responsibility store shelves the vitamins on the arctic nations but also to the entire world because if we measure the arctic and the northern part
12:22 pm
of the world the consequences will be felt in asia and africa latin america the rest of europe in the united states and elsewhere apart from anna chan territorial claims concerns were again raised that pumping for fuel in the world's refrigerator as it sometimes known could speed up global warming a quarter of the world's untapped an idjit resources altered states have become increasingly anxious just take their claims on to the look pretty piece of pie but russia says they'll be no fighting over the arctic portions and any territorial dispute but will result in just as informal and friendly atmosphere as a big dinner it's in the direction of our t.v. moscow. or berkman says the scale of the makes it impossible to solve in any other way than dialogue. it's impossible to envision any magic bullet that suddenly appears instantaneously and solves the problem once and forever so
12:23 pm
the solutions really are dialogues and russian geographic society is to be complimented for their vision and initiating a dialogue that will. that will support the type of cooperation and avoidance of conflict that is necessary to make the arctic a region that is used to the interests of all mankind so at the same time there are expressions of national interest there are expressions of common interest and so really the balance is one of achieving national interests and common interests not just for the current states themselves but for the world as a whole. on the end of u.s. combat operations in iraq fifty thousand american troops still remain there part of their responsibility is to train the local police to cope with the medicine threat but is paulus clear discovered the task is far from finished amid rising levels of violence. dark and dangerous and body armor it does little to protect against
12:24 pm
the fact that they're not welcome here they're doing it despite a patrol through one of the iraqi neighborhoods trying to prevent counterattack fire this is a bombs team he stayed behind the mission providing training support and backup to the iraqi police when they get to our level we go over our operations order and planning for the actual missions we're going to do then we do a pretty brief and we actually go and execute these type missions that we're on now but the u.s. invasion to have a fully functioning you makee security force did not protect so fine it just means husband four years ago he disappeared without a trace on it it's the whole he called me and said he was coming to beat me i said the situation is really bad don't come but he said now i have to say the safire certain husbands did and all the families of tens of thousands of iraqis have also disappeared since two thousand and three human rights organizations put some of the blame with the local security forces whose trainees are not always the might
12:25 pm
candidates for the job a lot of them they have come from illiterate you know all. around or some of them they are just to from the tribes and clans some of them just because they are part of the political parties militias and so on and the problem is compounded by the limited training they given you can apply for them in front of these. people being stopped at the checkpoints like this needs to be some of the few months of training that appears to be the search vehicles for car bombs missing weapons and stolen i.d. cards and it's a far cry. from what is needed. they are not untrained but the training they receive is not enough the americans only thought to create an iraqi army in two thousand and four by then it was too late because the terrorists had already infiltrated the. but with the increase of violence in iraq in recent weeks the need for a competent domestic security force has never been greater but whether or not the
12:26 pm
u.s. and iraq can mice to the challenge is still here to be seen. on t.v. . now u.s. census figures show america's policy level is that his highest four hundred wars in iraq and afghanistan along with the financial crisis are playing for the green statistic. asks people streets of new york help out they think the situation really is. the u.s. census bureau released a report indicating that about forty four million americans or one in seven live below the poverty level that's the highest it's been in over half a century what or who's to blame for that this week let's talk about that is that the bing not consider in obama's policy you know the blame for where we're at right now well he's partially to blame he's put the whole country and so are we going to
12:27 pm
get out of it. get rid of obama i mean we are fighting two wars and i think they're costing a lot of money so obviously that's having a significant effect on the economy and obama inherited these wars so i don't think we can blame him i've lost faith in the government i think it's just a power struggle in washington now that's what i think it's kind of like everyone saying what they're supposed to be saying for their party but no one's concerned about doing anything that's one way of putting it i suppose i would say the mortgage mortgage dilemma. loaning money that we don't have to people that can afford it to begin with. i think that was the beginning of it do you think that's going to turn around anytime soon are we going to just see more. i hope i hope it turns around i think it's i think it's on the upswing there would be no middle class and just poverty class and the rich class so there would have been some good so you think that the middle class is kind of disappearing in this country i think it's definitely it's definitely. not so much disappearing but it's definitely not
12:28 pm
as big as it as it used to be i mean you know growing up my parents always said that the middle class was a lot bigger and times were a lot easier like a lot of people turn the overreact and take a lot of things for granted. a lot of the things that we really have and you know we have a lot more than several other countries on the world and it's going to get complacent big things we're going to debate we should focus on what we do have instead of what we don't have a now sack what the bottom line is that no matter who or what if to blame for this high level of poverty let's just hope someone or something can do something about it. about with headlines just a few minutes don't go away. nineteen
